Hermione Lee is known for her remarkably perceptive biographies of some of the great modernist women writers of the past century (Willa Cather, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen). Her latest work is a magisterial look at the inner life of the grande dame of American letters, Edith Wharton.

Lee manages to illuminate the brilliance of Wharton’s craft at the same time as she reveals the warm-blooded woman who lived in tight New England corsets.
